Albuquerque, NM – The Nashville Sounds dropped their second straight game in Albuquerque on Friday evening, falling 7-1 at Isotopes Park.

The defeat was the seventh straight road loss for Nashville (39-49), which is just 1-5 in Albuquerque this season.

Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan – It’s not uncommon for family members to serve together in a combat operation, or even unusual for former drill sergeants to eventually serve with one of the Soldiers they trained during basic training.

The Army is chock-full of stories of parents and children, married couples, and siblings all deployed together in theater. Being a soldier, however, who’s led both a parent and their child at different points of one’s career is something entirely different.
